I am a single father of 2 kids (girl 9 and boy 7). I've been a single father for 6 years. I solely had parental responsibility rights until I have been arrested in 2013. I have not commited any offence. I have not been charged. I am sharing my parental responsibility rights with the authority ever since. However my children have been placed in temporary foster care and I have been by law prevented from having any contact with them. My IDs and my things have been detained. 9 months have passed and still I have not been charged and I still share my parental responsibility rights with the authority. As I write this, my children are being abused in the foster care. I know this from my mother, who is permited to visit them. This has been reported to the police, but they ignored this fact. This has been later reported to Police Independent Complaints Commision, but my mother wasn't even replied to. I used to think that I understood the law. I used to think that I had human rights. I don't eat, I don't sleep, I can't work because of lack of IDs. No, I don't need support from a shrink. I clearly see that my rights are being harassed by the people, who are supposed to protect those rights. I would very like to contact media about my story.
Hi Rev,
You are going through such a very hard time. On the left side of this page, you might like to contact "ask the Experts" when you click on there, you can ask a solicitor free of charge what you can do, it does take some time to respond as they are very busy, but they come up with really good answers and help.
Have you been to you Citizens Advice Bureau in your town, as they might be able to help, and there is always your MP you can contact and ask for help. The CAB will know which MP is yours.
Soon there will be Louise on here, on this website, that can hopefully give some answers for you
I welcome you on here as everyone will try to support you
But I already have a criminal solicitor and a family solicitor. They can't do anything. There is no criminal case, so my criminal solicitor told me, he would contact me as soon as something starts to happen. But for the last 8,5 months nothing happens, except my rights are being harassed. There was supposed to be a judgement delivered to me not later then on 1st of August. Well... actually it was supposed to be a lot earlier, but the judge said that because of "unforseen reasons"... Anyway, I'm still waiting for it. And meanwhile my children are being abused in foster care. Believe me, I have tried everywhere to get support. This is how the system works.
Have been everywhere. CAB, PICC, MP. They all give only as much support as they are permited by law. And the law says that noone should interfere with the police investigation. No even when the police clearly abuse their rights? Not even when my children have new bruises all over their bodies?
What do Social Services say about the bruises ? When they are notified they should investigate ?
can your mother make pictures of the bruises and notify the GP ?
The school should report it as well to Social Services ?
They say: "Children are fine" and that's all. They don't feel obligated to investigate. Also Social Services in this case is one man, who was notified by the police that my children are at risk from their father. Of course there was never any evidence that this was true and there was never any investigation, but who cares if Social Worker now believes that it's true. "Professionals".
Well, the school has been for some time (before I was arrested) reporting to me many things. But in court the school has suddenly lost all the reports. Do you really believe that schools are doing their jobs properly? You think they are objective? No. They have been contacted by the same police and informed that "there are reasons to believe that there is risk from father" and they act on that belief ever since.
No, my mother is not permitted to make any pictures. Well... not by the court, but by the social worker - the same social worker.
I would suggest that even if nothing can be done at the moment as you are awaiting your case, gather as much evidence as you can and keep track of what when occurred. Make pictures or have someone make pictures when you can
are the visits your mother makes supervised ?
Yes, visits are supervised... by one of the Social Worker's colegues from the same authority. So it's not independent - that's for sure. I can not do any pictures. It's against the authority's policies, or at least that's what me and my mother are being told.
How long can a parent possibly wait without harm to his health?! It's like I have rights, but I don't. And there is no organisation to regulate this. And my children have rights too. They used to say that they wanted to go back home. Now they don't say that anymore. Looks like someone has brainwashed them.
I still think your mother can report this to the GP and also the school can report this and they will Have to investigate. Louise will be online today and might be able to help you further
But my mother has reported this. She went to the police and made a report. And she later contacted PICC about it as well. So what? Nothing has been done. She has been ignored. I wish that there was someone to actually help me, but I think that only a judge might be in power to do something.
Hello Rev
I am so sorry to hear this is happening. You need to contact the Family Rights Group (click to see) They are the experts in helping families who are going through difficult times with situations like this.
You might also be interested to read this thread (click) and follow the story of one of our members who was wrongly accused of things and what happened to her and her daughter.
Hi Rev, how are you today?
Hello Pancakequeen. Today I made a good use of a lawn mower. Haven't done anything in my garden for half a year or so. It looks a bit better now. Would very like to invite someone for bbq or a dinner, but I don't know anyone anymore.
Hi Rev,
Its amazing how cutting the grass can make things look so much better in the garden! Mine needs a good cut too, we've got some dry weather forecast so I should be able to get it done.
Do you know your neighbours? If not maybe a bbq is a good way of introducing yourself?
The authority refuses to provide me with the information about my childrens' health and school reports. Once again, I am sharing my PR and there is no court order to prevent me from having such information.
The police informed me that there is an ongoing investigation. Bull-manure! What investigation?! For the last 8 months I have not been questionned nor assessed. Noone even cares if I am still alive. And the assessments from the authority, if any, they have been forged. No, it is not an exaggeration. I haven't been assessed by the social workers at all, but they claim to have made an assessment. The social services have so far forged the assessment of mine, of my mother and of my family friends.
I have so much more to say...
